webpage snapshot timing
Since sometime in mid October I've discovered that Zotero hasn't been saving snapshots on some sites I view regularly. It has never been an issue before, so I haven't been verifying.
Here's what's happening... I'm using current Chrome, current Zotero, and the current Chrome-Zotero connector.
If I click on the connector on Chrome, the Save to Zotero ... dialog shows up, and the snapshot icon is gray. After a wait of up to 30 seconds, it is highlighted. Watching this in Zotero, the main entry shows up in the view pane and after the wait, the attachment is noted with the ">" marker.
If I don't wait and move to another page, double clicking on the main entry opens the URL in Chrome. If I do wait, the snapshot is opened in a new Zotero tab.
Discussing this with ChatGPT, I added
user_pref("snapshot.disable_javascript", true);
user_pref("extensions.zotero.snapshots.readabilityBased", true);
following CHAT's assumption that this was related to the time taken to download the scripts, CSS, etc. (although I'm on a 300MBs connection)
Chat then suggested that the problem was the complexity of the web pages and that it could not find the main content.
If it isn't obvious by now, I'm a newbie to this level of conversation, although I've been using Zotero as a repository for my web research.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thx
